Chapter 4: The Neighbourhood.
Sunny crashed into a wall for the second time in 2 days. But this time she didn't knock herself out. She sat up and sighed. Then she yelled, "MEKKI!" which translates as "EVIL"! How are they going to get out of THIS situation?
Later, Count Olaf went and fetched Sunny from her room. He brought her to the table and said, "Not a made-up word out of you, you understand?" Sunny looked at him, then bit his finger. "Ow! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN SUNNY!" he yelled, just as Klaus and Violet walked into the room. They both gave in him a look, saying into themselves, "Well, obviously hasn't changed." Count Olaf let out a nervous, high-pitched laugh. "Sorry Violet, Klaus. I... You see...I was...Sunny bit me, and I just yelled out in pain. I didn't mean to shout." Violet looked at him. He seemed genuine enough, and Sunny DID have a problem with biting things. So, she smiled and replied, "Its OK, happens all the time with Sunny." Count Olaf looked relieved. "Right. Well, would you like some dinner?" Klaus nodded. "Yes please!" But Violet looked a bit pale, and shook her head. "No thanks, I've got a headache at the moment. I'd rather just lie on my bed, if that's OK."
"Sure, that's fine. Hope you feel better Violet."
"Thanks"
Violet walked out, leaving Klaus and Sunny with Count Olaf. Klaus looked quite nervous. Inside his heart was beating really fast and he didn't know what to do or say. He just stood there. Count Olaf broke the silence with, "So...what would you like for tea?" Klaus started. "Oh, yea...tea. Em...could I just have a pizza or something?"
"Yes, of course. What do you think Sunny would want."
"Sunny? Oh, she doesn't eat after 4."
"Oh right."
Klaus sat in silence while Count Olaf cooked a pizza. He glanced over at Sunny. She didn't look very happy. He tried to remember the last time Sunny had looked so unhappy. On the night before they were leaving, and him and Violet were talking about Count Olaf and how much he changed. Sunny burst into tears then. Hmm...maybe Count Olaf hasn't changed after all...
After his tea, Klaus went up to see Violet. He walked into her room. She was sitting on her bed with her hair tied back. "Thinking of something?" he asked her. She jumped. "Klaus, you scared me. Actually I was thinking about some kids I saw living next door. Maybe we should visit them." Klaus thought for a minute. "Good idea. Let's ask Count Olaf if we can go tonight."
Later, Sunny, Klaus and Violet went over next door. They all were quite excited in a weird way. They knocked on the door. A girl with reddish brown hair answered the door. She was quite tall and had blue eyes. "Hi" she said, "I'm Rebecca. But call me Beckie. Are you new around here?" Klaus grinned. Someone friendly. It had been a while. "Hello. Yes, we are new here. We just moved in beside with our...carer." Klaus replied. Then he immediately became disgusted with himself. He had just referred to Count Olaf as their "carer". Violet gave him a strange look and then said, "We were just coming round to meet the neighbours and everything." Beckie smiled. "There is no 'and everything' around here. Apart from meeting with friends, there's nothing to do." Sunny screamed, "Nakalaka!!" which means "You haven't introduced us.
"Of course" laughed Violet. "I'm Violet. This is Klaus and Sunny"
"Pleased to meet you all" smiled Beckie. ''She is a very cheerful person'' thought Klaus. "Cheerful isn't normal in our world" he thought again, nearly slipping into a daydream. "We have been through so much..."
He was brought back down to earth as another thought entered his head. "Hey." He said. "Is there no other kids in the neighbourhood? You said you haven't had friends in a while." He looked (and felt) puzzled. Beckies smile slowly faded off her face. "Well, there IS another family, but the kids aren't very nice." Beckie explained. "Oh" Violet said. "Sorry to hear that."
"BECKIE" someone cried. "WHOS AT THE DOOR?"
Beckie rolled her eyes. "Would you like to meet my brother Robert? she asked , "He's about your age" she said, nodding at Violet. "Bitrom" Sunny squealed, which means 'Is there anyone for me?'
"JENNIFER! Stop biting Robs arm!" Beckie laughed. "That's Jennifer. She has a small biting problem."
"Wow" Violet gasped. "So does Sunny!"
"Really. I thought Jennifer was the only child with that problem."
"We thought the same for Sunny."
"Well...best get Rob. ROB!" Beckie yelled. "Bring Jennifer and come to the door"
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][[][][][][][[]][][]]][]]]] ]]][][][][][][][][][][] Violet was sitting next to Rob. He had brown hair and deep blue eyes. Jennifer looked nearly exactly like Sunny, except with longer hair. They had been at the Massas' house for hours. Rob and Beckie had explained to them that their parents forced them to play with the DeVilles every Sunday. The kids weren't very nice and they always annoyed Jennifer. Violet was in a daydream. She had noticed that Klaus was more himself today. Sunny was too. Yesterday they had seemed so...dismissive about going to Count Olafs to stay for the week. But they were fine now. Maybe they were just tired. She was jerked out of her daydream by a soft bump as Sunny fell back, fast asleep. Violet giggled. "Guess we better leave. C'mon Klaus" Violet gently lifted Sunny and they walked back home. Count Olaf was waiting for them. "Ok. Time to go to bed." Violet, Klaus and Sunny went to their rooms. Sunny went in with Violet – Violet didn't want to wake her.
Count Olaf walked in and stared at Klaus, Violet and Sunny. He smiled, then walked away.
